The Legend of Prince Valiant

The kingdom of Thule has fallen under the attack of King Sinnin and his massive army. The forces of King Willam manage to hold out until their ruler drops his guard during the battle. Sinnin wins the day and forces the survivors, including young Prince Valiant, to sail to a primitive land far from their home. But Valiant eventually learns that Destiny does not intend for him to wallow in exile for long.

While attempting to get some breakfast, Prince Valiant meets a wandering peasant named Arn who mocks his lack of fishing skills. The two very different men are soon bonding over breakfast and a fishing lesson. Their relaxing day is cut short when violent circumstances force Valiant to take a detour from his search for Camelot. This detour leads to a devastating discovery about the future of this great kingdom.

The two would-be knights run afoul of Sheriff Robert when they stop him from abducting Rowanne (the blacksmith's daughter). Their stay at her home that evening reveals that she is far from a typical maiden in distress: the young woman has spirit and a deadly aim with a bow and arrow. The visit takes a near fatal turn when Robert comes to exact revenge for his humiliating defeat. Valiant and Arn also have to contend with Robert's powerful brother Duncan when word of their quest reaches him.

Rowanne is kidnapped by John Brodige, an inept buffoon out to claim the reward Baron Draconarius has offered for her. It seems the young woman has broken the law by leaving home without the baron's consent. The pair are pursued by Valiant and Arn, who don't know that Brodige poses little threat to their friend. The real threat comes from Garth, the baron's ruthless bounty hunter, who will kill any man who comes between him and his prize.

While renovating the ruins of the Castle Keep to suit their needs, the trio are interrupted by a wild boar's attack. Valiant tracks the wounded animal and falls into some underground caves inhabited by an insane old Viking named Tor. Rowanne and Arn venture into the caves to save Valiant from Tor's death traps; for some reason Arn's behavior grows increasingly irratic. Can our heroes survive long enough to learn why this aged Viking is waging war on them?

After weeks of searching with no luck, the trio begins to doubt the truth of Valiant's dream of Camelot. But the appearance of a wounded falcon within the Castle Keep leads to an omen that renews faith in the mission. The falcon repays Valiant, Arn, and Rowanne for tending its injuries by leading them straight to Camelot the next morning. Unfortunately, our heroes do not receive the welcome that they were anticipating.
